Hiding Places

Be sure to provide your gecko with a place to hide. These guys are very shy little creatures and they prefer a dark quiet place. Plants and rocks are a great way to achieve this (plants grow really well in terrariums). Just avoid anything spiked or sharp. Nocturnal geckos will spend most of their day staying hidden. If they don’t have this safe haven they can easily become stressed out. If this happens they will stop sleeping or eating, lose weight and possibly die. Also, make sure it is safe. Geckos will dig from time to time and are constantly climbing.
